Stumbling Stones Heringstraße 21

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Nathan Schönthal (born 1861, murdered in Sobibor on 30-4-1943)
Rosa Schönthal (born 1873, murdered in Sobibor on 30-4-1943)
Alfred Schönthal (born 1900, murdered in Sobibor on 30-4-1943)
Siegmund Schönthal (born 1903, murdered in Auschwitz on 13-9-1942)
Lini Haas (born 1904, murdered in Auschwitz)
Ludwig Schönthal (born 1906, murdered in Auschwitz on 10-8-1942)

The small brass plaques, in the pavement in front of houses of which the (mostly Jewish) residents were persecuted or murdered by the Nazis, mention the name, date of birth and place (mostly a concentration camp) and date of death.

In many other cities, mainly in Germany but also in other European countries, the memorials also can be found. There are already many thousands of these plaques and their number is still counting. Almost all Stolpersteine are laid by the German artist himself, Gunter Demnig.
